I would use evolution only to work (company email/calendar/contacts etc), but it's already set up an gmail account. Unfortunately I can't delete it because the "delete" button is disabled for this account.
Private emails i want to have in Thunderbird. How can I remove it from the Evolution? And still use google calendar and gtalk in empathy?

Tasks are currently not supported in Evolution due to missing support for Google Tasks in underlying library (libgdata).See the bug here.
But it can be done using third party tool syncevolution & web service memotoo.
Google <----------> Memotoo <-----------> Evolution.
First enable universe & multiverse repo.
Then open terminal & type: sudo apt-get update.
Install syncevolution: sudo apt-get install syncevolution sync-ui. Sync-ui is the gtk-gui for syncevolution.
Now go to https://www.memotoo.com/ & U can sign up there for free or choose premium version (1 Euro/Month).Free version has some limitation (max 50 tasks).
Sign in & go to "My Tasks" & select "syncronize my task". See image below.
Select Google Task from the list.Authorize memotoo to access your google account.Select type of synchronization "both ways". You can set sync schedule as per your preference.
On the same page click "synchronize google task" to start syncing manually.At this point you can see your google task on memotoo (default task category). Now you need to sync memotoo with evolution.
Open dash, type sync-ui & from the search open syncevolution.If you open it for first time you need to select the sync service.
Click on select sync service, Select memotoo from the list. Provide memotoo username & password. De-select appointments & contacts check-boxes & finally click "save & use".
Clicking Sync-Now under action will start syncing.If you are syncing for first time it may offer slow-sync.Click on "slow sync" to perform a slow-sync.You can also enable "Automatic sync" to sync automatically(syncevolution will be running in background). At this point, it will sync to your default task list.You can view default task list by typing "syncevolution" in the terminal.
Extra Tweaks:
You can choose to sync only uncompleted task between memotoo & evolution. To do that open syncevolution, edit memotoo, under server settings change task uri from "task" to "task.uncompleted".
DONE!
You can install Ubuntu’s New Web Apps Feature of Ubuntu 12.04 & 12.10. This will allow you to integrate your Gmail and Google Calender to the desktop, and make them first class citizen on your computer. This will allow for system notification pop-ups, HUD integration, and other Unity features. This is how to install it:
Open the Terminal and type these commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webapps/preview
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install unity-webapps-preview
Now log out and log back in for the change to take affect. The time next you visit Gmail or Google Calender on Firefox or Chromium, they will ask if you want to integrate with the desktop.

I'm not entirely sure if this is going to help; however, I had the same problem and eventually managed to get rid of the Gmail account via some combination of the following:
All of the above with Evolution shut down, of course. I'm not sure which of the above actions helped, but eventually Evolution didn't display the Gmail account anymore.
